The C-value enigma is real, and there is a lot of research going on right now investigating it.
-
It's just that biologists who interpreted C-value as a measure of "complexity" (which they cannot define) as well as a 'confirmation' of their erroneous ideas about junk-DNA need to go back to 'Go' and not collect the $200.
-
Thanks for the link to the C-value illustration, this was how I imagined a spread would look like.
-
There is no "C-value paradox" in prokaryotes, for example, as their genomes are small and directly correlated with gene number.
-
I think I'm going to hold out for now on how the C-value enigma might impinge on isomorphic reasoning.
-
How does the C-value enigma impinge on the idea that 60 million base pairs is not enough information to specify, construct, repair, and replicate the intersystemic complexity of the human body?
-
Some species have even more junk, such as an amoebe with 200 times the human C-value.

The Japanese pufferfish OTOH has only one seventh of the human C-value.

These results suggest that the greatest irony about the C-value paradox may very well be that there is no paradox at all and that genome complexity and morphological complexity actually do significantly positively correlate with one another, at least for the organisms with sequenced genomes in this data set.
